Qatar World Cup 2022 🇶🇦

Nah big up england! The french are playing filthy, they’re losing the midfield battle though

 

[Dogtanian]

What I can’t get on with is the post game waffle from the ex-professionals. All they do is say the bleedin’ obvious and spout cliches.
“England didn’t play well…”.
You don’t say, I have eyes and I’ve just watched the game.
Seriously, just show the game, 2 minute sign off and then finish!!

knowing how vicious some fans can be over missed pens/chances i feel for him tbh. i hope (if they lose this game) that he and his family don’t get too much nonsense

I can remember when David Beckham got sent off in 98. People burned effigies of him and all sorts. Ridiculous.

Like all keyboard warriors, he looks like the sort of guy who’d wet his pants and hide under the bed.

Darren Grimes is a hateful, attention seeking little twat. That is such a flag Shagger comment to make, they just can’t let go of things like this. I bet he still goes on about the German‘s in a similar fashion.

not to mention all the racial abuse after the euros too, sports make people lose all sense of reason.

watching it again you can see he had the right idea, he just put too much on it.

The BBC refused to broadcast the opening? That just seems silly. Either broadcast the event or boycott it all.

I can't see where to watch it?

 

[LaBlonde]

england were honestly the better side for most of the game.

i feel for harry kane really. he looks completely shell shocked and, as said above, i hope he doesn’t take too much flack. they wouldn’t have been anywhere without him.

my hoped predictions for the results today came true! let’s now hope for a croatia morocco final!

Oh I agree they were shit. But I don’t understand why you were glad to see them get beaten?

Because it is good for the Iranian team who have shown real bravery to turn up and play, not sing their national anthem vs England and then feel forced to sing it half heartedly today only because of the genuine threat of reprisals to them and their families and comments from their government. They needed that win as a reward for their courage.

---

Slow, hesitant, disjointed first half from England. Hope Southgate has a rocket to put up then at half time.

Our Tyler Adams is all over the place 🤍 (as he has all season for us) but what a bargain we got in him when you hear the figures bandied around for Rice/Bellingham.

 

[ordinaryjelly]

Anyone got any idea what Phil Foden has done wrong? Shagged Southgate's wife? This game has been crying out for him.

That said, I reckon Mason Mount has Southgate's nudes.

Wales have to beat England in order to stay in… Bye Wales

 

[Gym&Tonic]

i think it’s hard to explain to someone who’s english tbh because they don’t fully get the isolation of it. the use of us and we. the assumption that you will and should support them (which isn’t returned. i remember the bbc using half time of wales v belgium to talk about england) because you’re british. the way the tv coverage always forgets they’re addressing the uk as a whole.

whenever i try and explain it to english friends they’re like “but we would support YOU” but they don’t understand how it’s different. so many people think british = english and it bugs me. but this isn’t the thread for my welsh insecurities

They don’t support us though. They’ve been vile about Wales since we went further than them in 2016. They love mocking Scotland for being shit as well.

And the behaviour of the fans that night, storming the barriers etc. Women‘s football is so much nicer.

lmao I'm glad. None of the louts visiting had a problem with visiting Qatar..unless their precious lager is banned

 

[mooseknuckle]

Itv commentator saying the most watched TV event of the year, really? They're expecting higher than the queen's funeral for this round?

The England euros final only just beat the Queen.

That’s what I said Then they had scored two and they were like “Can we talk about France now?” “We’re on our way to the quarter finals” It’s so cocky and disrespectful to other teams. I had to put it on mute, main reason people hate England is the media and the commentators. Have to deal with another week of “it’s coming home” shit but come on France Fucking slaughter them

 

[knivesnflowers]

going to try and not engage with transphobic comments but just putting it out there - i would much rather live in a country that lets people transition without jumping through hoops than one who imprisons people for daring to be anything other than cisgender and heterosexual xx

 

[Former_Antelopee]

This is a good game and completely different to what I was expecting. It’s actually the only game that I’ve been interested in watching usually been doing stuff at the same time as it being on the tv. Although haven’t had chance to watch too many as been working a lot (nights)

 

[LaBlonde]

when you compare that to this...

they have so much class & respect

exactly!!

it’s weird to me that brazil got so much ott comments about having a dance after scoring goals, whereas argentina can get away with blatant disrespect of their opponents because they have messi and he “deserves” a world cup.

i’m officially in the anyone but argentina or england camp at this point

 

[strawb]

Ref was a dick.

he really was!

i feel sad for england

hopefully croatia can avenge you vs france in the finals

All the pundits don't help themselves. 'This is a missed opportunity' because it would have been Morocco in the semis, as though that would have been a guaranteed win.

This is why everyone jokes 'anyone but England'.

Exactly. The media and pundits lack any awareness as to why the other home nations get so annoyed about them. They act like they’re always the favourites or in with a chance when the reality is they’ve not won anything since 1966. I think that the pressure put on the players by the media is a big part of the reason they always bottle it. Let them go without expectation and they could surprise you but until then get a grip.
